  • “You’re going the wrong way!!”

    “How does he know where we’re going?”

    “Oh yeah”

    Bashir realizes they are going to crash into two other ships

    “AHHHHHHH”

    ship shudders as it scrapes between the two incoming ships. Sparks fly dramatically, and Bashir looks over to see O’Brien dressed in a devil costume laughing maniacally

    Hey you started out by suggesting something that at one point would have been pretty helpful for me. Maybe you got a bit riled up by some of the responses. Some people are always going to be mean on the Internet.

    The original meme made me laugh, I love the idea that such a new take would rile everyone up (even if it didn’t really). I imagine you suggest some duplicate keys and mothers are covering kid’s ears, old church ladies are fainting, and the young men are wanting to fight. A religious leader gravely denounces the new heresy.

    Then the edit to the meme format?! I love it.

    That being said, it almost seems like you’re blowing it all out of proportion. Rejection sensitivity is common, and easy to feel with online communities.

    You’re welcome to be here, I like your creativity and out of the box thinking. Maybe cool off, have a laugh, and I’m looking forward to seeing what other creative keyboard ideas you come up with.





  • I like React because these days it’s pretty well known and just about anything I need I can find easily. There’s newer similar tools like Vue, or entirely different approaches like Next, but React remains a dominant choice for the time being. I’m sure fashion will move the industry along soon enough, but none of the newer tools I’ve seen really are such a huge leap forward that I couldn’t get stuff done in a few days of prep and tutorials. So for now, I’ll stick with react until I need to move or a client requests it.

    For backend I’m increasingly preferring simple Restful APIs. If it can map an endpoint to a function and convert JSON into a dictionary or object, it’s probably good enough. I just wrapped up a project in ASP.Net Core and that pretty much just got out of the way and let me make web API endpoints.







  • I listened to it on a long drive recently, and really enjoyed the audiobook version. The voice actor did a good job, and I liked the chords with the alien voice. The last 20% we were listening on the edge of our seats.

    And then, a few weeks later, it’s… fine. I like to call books like this “Good Time Fun”. It probably won’t be remembered in 100 years like other more timeless works, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun if you just go along for the ride.

    Another commenter suggested Young Adult, and that’s exactly what it feels like. There’s challenges, strong emotions, a bit of a a twist or two (pretty easy to see coming), clever creativity, Science To The Rescue, and Friendship Conquers Everything! You know, Good Time Fun!

    Surgery is an extremely stressful thing! Feeling anxious about it is normal!

    One thing that might help with with binging is packing absurd amounts of veggies as snacks. At one point my wife was bringing two pounds of green bell peppers to work every day so she could stress eat them. She started by just bringing fewer regular snacks, slowly replacing them with bell peppers until it was all peppers. That really helped her feel more in control and not guilty at all.

    The other one was eating at least two cups of dark green veggies before every meal. She could still eat as much as she wanted, but she had to figure out a way to make the first two cups of food be dark green veggies like: bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, etc. They didn’t have to be raw either (raw dark green veggies often gives people gas) so she’d roast them with salt and oil so they were delicious. That way she was getting tons of fiber and vitamins, so she just felt better and had more energy to face life’s stresses. That extra fiber also helps with blood sugar.

    The trick is giving yourself permission to undo long habits and know that they often take as long to undo as they took to form.

    If today was 1% better than yesterday, that’s a win. Do it again tomorrow, and then the next day. You’ll be making big changes in months and it won’t be a big shock to the body and mind.

    For myself, I was almost 200lb, and I eventually got down to 140lb, but it took years. All the tricks like keto, IF, IIFYM, etc were fine and helped, but ultimately what took a long time was changing my emotional relationship with food before I could stop binging. That took a long time. What finally helped a lot was just writing down everything I ate every day. I’d also use a CBT trick and write down for each meal how I was feeling emotionally. It is tedious, but it eventually helped my mind realize how much I was using food to fill an emotional hole. That still took about a year. So while some people can just decide to lose weight and do it, I first had to let go of that as an emotional crutch. And that was not as easy. But it was so worth the time and effort! It might take a long time to break that habit, but you can do it, and you won’t regret it!

    You got this girl, I’m rooting for you!
